A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
